Re: Trump wants to buy Greenland.

Well the response from various Danish MPs is quite predictable for anyone with common sense.

One of our Greenlandic MPs says that Greenland is not a commodity to be traded and the response from a bunch of other MPs can be summed up as no way in hell. (links unfortunately in Danish)

Of course it's better, the light tank match making means that it's effectively a tier 8 tank.
If you want to be fair to regular tier 7s you have to compare them to tier 6 lights.

You can use Avast, but you will probably be annoyed by its habit of turning on its email signature every few months.

You can currently buy CK2 with all the DLCs for about 23 € (+ whatever tariffs apply to your location) at G2A.
EU4, its DLCs, and most other not completely new games, are also available for cheap there.

Yes there is full interaction between the ground vehicles and the planes, the planes strafe the tanks, and the AA vehicles and (rarely) the other vehicles shoot the planes.
